Week of White - Kitchens

Good morning everyone :)
We had a power outage last night - most of it was spent sitting in the living room with candles on
while I made hand puppets on the wall for a few hours before finally giving up and going to bed lol.

Imagine an all white house with lots of windows and the sun streaming in....right after an amazing blizzard or ice storm. Oh my goodness the place would sparkle so bright it might be blinding.... but I would be so filled with the spirit of joy and and happiness.... I LOVE IT

I love all of those Swedish and Nordic inspirations. I used a few of them myself, though I didn't go white, because I was working with what I had in the rest of the place.

If you make the shelves, you will save a lot of money. Wood countertops and tile are affordable. What I love about all these kitchens is they look unfitted and approachable.

Love that blue stove! Blue star, Viking, Big Chill, and Smeg make much more affordable colored stove versions than the French one and Aga. (Smeg stoves are not available in the U.S., but maybe in Canada.)

You will be able to probably use a couple of the pieces you find and paint too!

I want to paint our stained cabinets white, and every time I mention it, my husband looks at me as if to say, "Do you know how much work that's going to be?" And then I think to myself, "Do you know how much work that's going to be?!" So pretty and clean, though. I don't think I've invited you to my new link party yet! Starts each Tuesday, for any post on antiques, vintage, or history. Join us! We Call It Olde Link-up. (Sorry if I already invited you ...) Take care -Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com

LOL at that last comment!!! I am not sure what direction I want our cabinets to go in the new house. We don't want pure white, maybe something with a glaze. I guess I will know when we start looking but I want to make the right and final decision. John is cool with that. He says you are in the house more then me so you rule the roost, so to speak of course, LOL!!

[giggle] Please tell John that I painted a whole house white and I'm about to paint my new house all white too. My husband would probably agree with John.... but not game enough to voice that opinion I suspect! Love a white kitchen!!

I love white kitchens...you are going to be so busy, having fun, updating, refreshing and making the house all yours. I'm so excited for you!! And I still want to win that book. ;) enjoy your weekend!Cecilia

I was waiting for that post about white kitchens... and then it got lost in all the mails I haven't read yet... I'm going to keep quite a few in my inspiration file if you don't mind! Now, let's talk seriously, call me mad John, but I can see lots of potential in that room that is now the kitchen in your cottage, but if you keep that ceiling that belongs to a classroom, I'm unfollowing you! No pressure!

Suzan, you are a very funny lady! You always seem to combine my two favorite things~ gorgeous home décor and a really good laugh! Today is no exception...white kitchens are my weakness! Thanks for sharing these! :) Kim

Suzan, I would love a white kitchen and you would think in Florida they would be plentiful. Out of the dozens of homes for sale we have seen only one with a white kitchen. Looks like I'll need to paint.Hugs,Sherry

Thank you for sharing all of these white kitchens. So many great ideas! I love the open shelving. Our cupboards are white, but hubby put on black countertops....hopefully they will wear out soon. LOVE your blog!!Debbie

I have to confess that until this year, white kitchens where not my thing, however they have been growing on me. There really are some beautiful white kitchens out there. The inspiration pictures you have included are fabulous, but I think my favorite of them all would be the 4th one with the apple's on the counter. Love all the open shelving

I have been saying for years that my next house would be white. I have kind of going in that direction for a while now as I slowly convert my furnishings. Brian thought I was nuts too, he thought with a dog and grandchildren going white was insane. But that's the way I wanted to go. Because it is going to be a long time before I can do it if ever. I will have to live my dreams of a white home vicariously through you. Can not wait to see the changes you make to your new home as you go all white. Congrats on the new home, did a little happy dance for you when I heard the news. hugs Tobey
